My name is Sophie Hayes and I’m a qualified primary school teacher with a deep passion for nurturing young minds and fostering a love for reading.

Sophie Hayes

STORY ZOO CO-FOUNDER

With two energetic primary school-aged children of my own, I understand the delicate balance of juggling work, home life, and raising two inquisitive, busy minds!

While teaching a diverse mix of students, I noticed the need for a reading tool that not only simplifies teachers' lives but also captivates and engages young readers. A way of working with synthetic phonic schemes to enhance the range of books students have access to. Instead of allowing reading gaps to develop I was sure there was a way to ensure children were engaged with reading from those very first sounds.

That's how Story Zoo came to be. As a co-founder of Story Zoo, I am proud to introduce a digital reading record designed to revolutionise the way teachers track progress and inspire students to dive into the world of stories. Our platform isn't just about logging reading sessions - it's about sparking a lifelong love of books and teaching children they can be transported into wonderful worlds by simply picking up a book.

Through Story Zoo, I channel my passion for reading and child development into a tangible tool that empowers teachers, ignites imaginations, and transforms the way we approach literacy education. Join me and the rest of our team in this adventure as we embark on a quest to unlock the magic of reading for every child.
